Lancewood Drive – In the Oaklands subdivision. First appears in street directories in 1987.
A tiny amount of information from the library website and the street is probably named after the lancewood plant and the other name for the plant is horoeka.
Very little information on Papers Past and it was mostly ads plus a few death notices. Sections and houses were for sale in the 1980s.
I walked this street a month ago when I was geocaching in the area. It is a pleasant tree lined street and the houses are a variety of styles. A couple of houses really stood out for me and I did like them. Most houses had established gardens and were pleasant to look at. There are two reserves with entrances from this street and I didn’t walk the Westlake Reserve this time but I did walk Lancewood Reserve walkway to the next street. I did drop into a friend’s house for a coffee and a chat when walking this street.
